Anantara Santorini Abu Dhabi Retreat Introduces Soulful Wellness Experiences by the Sea

Anantara Santorini Abu Dhabi Retreat’s Soulful Wellness Experiences by the Sea represent a new chapter in transformative wellbeing with rituals that move beyond the traditional spa visit.

These rituals include:

Full Moon Ceremony
When the full moon ascends over the horizon each month, resort guests can gather for a Full Moon Ceremony guided experience including a shared circle and heart-opening cacao ritual, breath-led meditation, gentle self-reflection, a symbolic bonfire ritual, a flower offering, and shared gratitude beneath the moonlight. Those who choose the full-day experience may arrive earlier to enjoy exclusive access to the resort’s pool and beach.

Santorini Sundays

Newly introduced Santorini Sundays welcomes guests with an herbal-infused welcome drink, an intention-setting ritual and guided breathwork, a 60-minute slow flow yoga session, live handpan music, and a nourishing wellness breakfast.

The full-day experience includes a Creative Expression Workshop that varies each week, from intuitive painting and vision board journaling to mandala or calligraphy art. Advance booking recommended.

Mindfulness Screenings
Daily Mindfulness Screenings, held daily in Anantara’s luxury indoor cinema, show curated short films and documentaries that explore themes of healing, purpose and human connection. Each screening is accompanied by herbal tea or still water and can be enjoyed as a shared experience or arranged privately with bespoke programming.

Arabic Perfume Workshop
The Arabic Perfume Workshop offers guests a rare glimpse into the history of fragrance in the area, guided by an expert scent-maker. Guests learn to blend their own bespoke perfume.  Available by request, the workshop provides a fragrant keepsake.
